Just a quick question, was there a reason you didnt use the wireless controller? Im guessing nobody tries to map the RT/LT buttons?

I plan on hacking a wireless controller this summer after I move to Phoenix. I haven't done it yet for two reasons: one, they're more expensive, and two, they have some funky security screws holding them together. The wired controllers only use normal phillips head screws.

RT and LT are analog buttons, no real way to map those.

I read on the shoryuken forum that you need resistors for the RT/LT buttons. That is far beyond my skillset though. I bought a wireless controller to try this before I saw this thread. Im going to have to see If I want to tackle this. I would be wiring this to a MAS stick.

Hey GuysI am very interested in getting or making a wireless xbox controller but I want it for PC..with 2 players... like a wireless arcade panel for emulators..is this possible? I think it may be out of my leauge and may have to get someone to make it...

also how many buttons can be used per controller?if I buy pre made is it easy to assemble to stick/buttons?

I am looking to mod some Xbox 360 controllers for my sticks... right now I have swap boxes to change between Sega Saturns, Sega Dreamcasts, and PS2s and button top configurations for each game... Four button ones for Tekken, Arched four buttons for SoulCalibur, Five buttons for Guilty Gear, and Six buttons for all the normal games in the world

Hey HarumaN... you here (AZ)? I have something going on Friday (Fantastic Four and gaming afterwards) and this Saturday I have some peeps in town from SoCal to come play - give me a call and see if you have to time to check out the place....

Hey, just an update. I've found all my tools, so I'm ready to start hacking controllers again. Send me a PM if interested. Also, I am going to attempt a wireless hack soon, so stay tuned for details on that.

Nice to hear you made it to your new home safely.... I will be wanting a controller hack soon....hoping you get your wondering (and super clean....love the plug in type thing you put on the hack) hack working on a wireless controller very soon...

I plan on doing a wireless hack this weekend, I don't see any reason why it will be a problem.

Also...looking a bit more closely on your tutorial....i don't see you adding the guide button....is there a reason for that?

Hope to order a controller from you next week (waiting on confirmation on the joystick parts i want to buy).....would love it to be wireless....

I'm going to start the wireless one today or tomorrow... and I do add the guide button, but there wasn't enough room on the terminal strips for it. I just use about a foot of stranded wire for the guide button.

Another update: I have successfully hacked the RT and LT buttons. I'll post a pic later. So now, all the buttons that are available are: X, B, A, Y, Back, Start, Guide, RB, RT, LB, LT, as well as the 4 D-pad directions.

These tools are handy... free up your hands for more precise control of the Dremel and a soldering iron later.

What's that tool called? I see a lot of third hands everywhere, but I've never seen that before.

I have no idea what it's called. I got it from a guy who works with satellite electronics. It's great because the two arms are spring-loaded and adjustable. Plus you can rotate the thing on 3 axis to get the best positioning.

I have a couple questions about this hack in particular and XBox 360 games on arcade controls in general.First of all, I don't own a 360, but I am in the final stages of building my cab and I am trying to wire it so I can easily connect it to a hacked controller like this if I wanted to drop a 360 in there. Most importantly for now, I want to decide if I should add a 7th/8th buttons to my CP if all the XBox buttons are hacked.

So here's my questions:

1. I am confused about the hacking of the RB/LB analog buttons. So if these are analog, how would you use these connected to arcade buttons? Would activating this button be equal to pressing the analog button down by 100%? Are there games this would be useful on?

2. What XBox 360 games would be usable on an arcade CP? I can see that all the XBLA games would be good, as I assume they only use the digital buttons and sticks. What other 360 games can be played well without the use of the analog sticks? Any of the more recent / advanced fighters and such?
